RA,rVG~. 2E u 574N2~36 400 t EXHIBIT B BREAKDOWN OF COUNTEROFFER r~ The property owners hired David M. Witt to appraise the Property. His appraisal finds that the house is worth $80,000.00. His appraisal indicates that the real property, which currently contains a house, would have a residential value of $30,000.00. In addition to that value, damages to the landscaping would exist. The Lictenbargers received compensation near commercial value for a parcel they sold in relation to the improvement of the Toll Road Bridge for in excess of $40,000 per acre. The property immediately adjacent to their property is commercial property. The Lictenbarger refrained from renting the house at the beginning of the year to anticipating the completion of the transaction, but the transaction was delayed until now. The Lictenbargers claimed a loss of rent for twelve (12) months of $650.00 per month for $7,800.00 total. This transaction contemplates that we would purchase the remainder interest that they have in the current right-of--way from the centerline of Olive Road the edge of the right-of--way. The most significant difference between the Commission's offering price and the counteroffer is the valuation of the land, which is determined based upon the land's use. Although the land is zoned agriculture, it contains a residential home that will be permanently damaged and is immediately adjacent to commercial property. Item Commission Price Counteroffer Price Land $5,645.00 $48,195.00 Damages (House & Landscaping) $81,194.50 $85,000.00 Lost Rent $0.00 $7,800.00 Total $86,839.50 $140,995.00 t
